11:30 a.m. CTA Board of Directors' Meeting

1:00 p.m. – Exhibit Set up (Click here for complete details Exhibits )

2:00 p.m.Coal Ash Behavior and Deposition – Short Course -- Chairman:  Bruce Folkedahl, Research Scientist, Energy & Environmental Research Center, University of North Dakota    Ash-related problems encountered in combustion systems include the formation of fine particulates that are difficult to collect, sulfur oxide emissions, corrosion and erosion of boiler parts, radiant boiler slagging, convective pass fouling, and other types of ash deposition. The economic impact of these problems is staggering.  The “Coal Ash Behavior and Deposition” tutorial participants can expect to gain a better understanding of inorganic constituents in coal, ash formation mechanisms, types of ash deposition, and deposit growth and strength development. This enhanced understanding will allow better decision making relating to fuel selection, locating and identifying deposit problems, and decreasing the costs of research programs by starting with better information and direction.
